Poster: White Denim

Did up a poster for a band from Austin who was coming through town for a show last week. Original plan was to screenprint, but time and resources were short. I ended experimenting with my Epson large format printer using thicker, non-photo art paper and sending the prints through multiple times to simulate the overlays of real screenprinting. It’s nice to get away from web delivered stuff once in a while.

The downside is you don’t get the feel of screenprints, and there is no such thing as white ink on a printer, which limits your paper colors somewhat. In fact, the printer is using what it is assuming is the white of the paper as a color to mix colors, so results vary with off-white papers. Both the Bottom of the Hill (SF club) and the band were into it, which was great. I’ll be selling some on Etsy sometime in the near future.

Check out White Denim.
